Considering he has bounced around a lot already, I would say he's not great. But I don't know anything about him and I trust Pete's evaluation of DBs. He might be a better fit in this scheme than elsewhere.
Former 2nd round pick, the kind of value signing that Pete can coach in to a steal for us.
Making a wild prediction, I say he follows the path of our last nickel corner, Justin Coleman, plays well at the position, and gets signed away for good money, leaving us with a 2021 compensatory pick. :irishdrinkers:
He certainly fits the athletic profile they've had success with in the past at nickle CB. He's kind of a cross between Marcus Burley and Justin Coleman. Not as twitchy as them but close, and with a bigger and stronger frame (better tackling/against the run?). Certainly worth bringing in and seeing if Pete can coach him up into our next NCB.
I don't care about his college or combine measurables. he's been a pro for 5 years. He's a veteran and still young. It's a solid signing especially since we have so many youngsters in the secondary.
He will either make it or get cut like Antoine Winfield. The last few years our roster has been mostly set, this year by my count less than half of the roster is a LOCK.
Boise State, 54th overall by Miami in 13'. 5-11, 190, worker mindset, physical, tough competitor, instinctive and can hit. Has 41 career starts mostly at NB, has one in game ejection for what was perceived as a punch & some training camp squirmishes. I think they found a good one, we needed this.
